Artist’s Statement 

I regularly paint with other local artists and am involved with plein air painting groups. I use water mixable oils, pens, charcoal and watercolours as well as my original acrylics. My paintings are uploaded to janetandjanet.ca where I can add a few words about the process or the challenges of each piece. I write a regular blog to inspire and motivate others to bring creativity into their lives.

I paint in our dining room and receive regular very useful critiques from my husband. He is my perfect audience. I prefer people to see my paintings without the distraction of a signature, although it is always there. When painting on canvas, my art is signed down the side, a signature and location which took much deliberation.
